Week 15 of the NFL season is here and that means the fantasy football playoffs are underway. The pressure is on as fantasy football owners try to come up with the best possible lineup late in the year.
The quarterback position is one that carries so much promise early in the season. Stars can be drafted with high hopes of great performances for an entire season. But like with any other position, things change and moves must be made on any fantasy football roster.
Here are the quarterback rankings for Week 15.
Week 15 fantasy football quarterback rankings: Start 'Em
Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tom Brady is the frontrunner for NFL MVP and is leading the league in both passing yards and passing touchdowns. He is easily the safest choice of any quarterback in fantasy football this week.
The matchup for Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week is against the New Orleans Saints. Brady did throw four touchdowns the first time these two teams met back on Halloween, but also threw two interceptions.
Even with the picks, the touchdowns and his 375 passing yards made for a great day.
The veteran has been heating up in recent weeks and has six touchdowns and over 700 yards combined in his past two games. While he may not be a dynamic option, he sure is a safe and time-honored one.
Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
Let's say you have Dak Prescott on your fantasy football team and you are panicking about his recent performance. That's fair, especially after he threw one touchdown and two interceptions against Washington in Week 14.
But Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys have an easier opponent in Week 15 in the form of the New York Giants. They've already beaten Joe Judge's team and Prescott had three touchdowns in that game.
It was only a few weeks ago that Prescott lit up the Las Vegas defense on Thanksgiving. One tough stretch should not relegate him to the bench if he is your top quarterback in fantasy football.
Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
So much talk about Aaron Rodgers has to do with his fractured toe. He made it clear following Sunday's win that he was dealing with an immense amount of pain. Still, he threw for 341 yards and four touchdowns.
Rodgers has been dealing with the toe injury for a month now and has 10 touchdowns in the past three games. If he is not slowing down at all, even with the pain, there is no reason for fantasy football owners to be concerned in Week 15.
The matchup does not matter much because Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. The Baltimore Ravens secondary is banged up, as is the whole team, and Rodgers should be able to pick them apart if he can tolerate the pain.

Week 15 fantasy football quarterback rankings: Sit 'Em
Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens
Lamar Jackson has not had a truly solid fantasy football performance since way back in Week 9. He is now also dealing with a sprained ankle that realistically limits his biggest weapon: his legs.
Jackson left the game due to an injury in the Week 14 game against the Cleveland Browns and is expected to return Sunday as the Baltimore Ravens square off against the Green Bay Packers.
Yet his last three games have not made for great viewing. He has a combined five interceptions and two touchdowns in that span, which all came in two games because he was forced out so early in Week 14.
Jackson seems to finally be struggling due to the lack of a rushing attack, and his injury may mean the Packers defense blitzes him all game long.
Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles
Jalen Hurts is returning from an injury of his own. The Philadelphia Eagles signal-caller missed his team's last game in Week 13, before he had a much-needed bye week.
Hurts has had success this year, but it all comes down to his rushing attack for fantasy football owners. Week 11 against New Orleans is a great example.
He only threw for 147 yards, but ran for 69 yards and three touchdowns.
In his last game before the injury, Hurts tossed three interceptions and had no touchdowns against the New York Giants. Week 15 features a matchup against the Washington Football Team, who still have playoff dreams.
Hurts is too 'hot and cold' as a player who is coming off that injury as well. Trusting him in fantasy football is too risky of a move this week.
Ryan Tannehill, Tennessee Titans
Some fantasy football owners may see Ryan Tannehill as a reliable option. The Tennessee Titans are without Derrick Henry and that should mean plenty of focus on Tannehill, right?
Well, his Titans took on the Jacksonville Jaguars last week and he managed only 191 yards through the air. He did add a rushing touchdown, but it was a lackluster performance by fantasy football standards.
Tannehill and the Titans take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15. While Pittsburgh can be streaky, T.J. Watt could be back and the Steelers defense has shown a great ability to get to the quarterback.
The Titans can win, but Tannehill is not going to light up the scoreboard. An average performance is the last thing anyone wants when it comes to the fantasy football playoffs.
